      Hi all,

      I am currently building my own 2P bartop arcade cabinet which includes 1 joystick and 6 buttons per player. All are connected to Zero Delay controller. Want to know how to distribute the buttons, considering that I will play mostly smups. So far, when trying to configure buttons, all are asking is buttons 1-4, Start & Select (don't need shoulder buttons).
      I am asking if I need any additional buttons eg. p1/p2 start, coin, exit etc.
      What do you think?

      model: RPi 3
      Power Supply: original RPi
      image: 4.2
      USB devises: 2x ZD controller, mini keyboard-mouse

        @journeyman when binding the 'start' button will be your p1 start, and the select button will be your coin button. i don't know any shootemups that use more than 4 buttons.
